Reviewing posts about this, I've compiled this list of scenarios and asks from various people (I can't see what's in the bug right now):
Prevent inadvertant mistakes: * loss or replacement of current playlist from pressing Play. * adding multiple items (such as a whole genre or year) * interrupting the currently playing item * adding the same item multiple times Prevent deliberate annoying party guest behavior: * deliberately doing things in the mistakes list above * changing volume * adding multiple individual items * changing settings, including party mode settings. >From these scenarios, I see this list of possible features: * Make the Play button act like the + button, but only when an item is already playing. This seems to be the Priority 0 feature that everyone wants. * Prevent actions that interrupt the currently playing item. This could be button-specific: individually disable FF, REW, Pause, Stop, Next, Previous. * Provide user feedback: "Track X will play next" or "Track X added to playlist" * Don't allow adding multiple items with a single button press. * Enforce settings. Password required to change them or changing them is buried deeply to prevent naive users from changing them. * Prompt before allowing destructive actions. A destructive action is one that interrupts the currently playing item or that removes an item from the playlist. * Allow undo of bad actions. Myself, I'd be happy with making Play act like + and disabling all actions that can interrupt the currently playing item except for Pause/Stop. -- mikelee999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mikelee999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17310 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55385 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
